Mike and El are both whirling rocks tied to 1.05 m long strings. They both swing the rocks at the same constant speed. However, Mike swings his rock in a vertical circle while El swings hers in a horizontal circle. Mike finds that the maximum tension in his string is 13.0% larger than the tension in El's string. Find the speed (in m/s) of the rocks.
